Myanmar's military government appeared Friday to be reasserting its authority over cyclone relief operations as aid officials said it was forcing survivors out of refugee camps and hindering the access it had promised foreign aid workers. A U.N. official said the junta was making cyclone survivors leave government refugee camps and "dumping' them near their devastated villages with virtually no aid supplies. Eight camps set up earlier by the government for homeless victims in the Irrawaddy delta town of Bogalay were "totally empty' as the clear-out continued, said Teh Tai Ring of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) at a meeting of U.N. and private aid agency workers discussing water and sanitation issues. "The government is moving people unannounced,' he said, adding that authorities were "dumping people in the approximate location of the villages, basically with nothing.' After his statements were reported, UNICEF issued a statement saying the remarks referred to "unconfirmed reports by relief workers on the relocation of displaced people affected by' the May 2-3 storm. In his remarks at the water experts' meeting, however, Teh said the information came from a relief worker who had just returned from the affected area and that "tears were shed' when he recounted his findings to a meeting of UNICEF officials earlier in the day. Separately, at a church in Yangon, more than 400 cyclone victims from a delta township, Labutta, were evicted Friday following orders from authorities a day earlier. "It was a scene of sadness, despair and pain,' said a church official at the Yangon Karen Baptist Home Missions in Yangon, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of official reprisal. "Those villagers lost their homes, their family members and the whole village was washed away. They have no home to go back to.' All the refuge seekers except some pregnant women, two young children and those with severe illnesses left the church in eleven trucks Friday morning. The authorities told church workers that the victims would first be taken to a government camp in Myaung Mya
